For Word Nerds like me, it's an irresistibly sexy title &ndash; Common Errors in English, a new book (and website) by WSU professor, Paul Brians.


Buy the book on Amazon.com or just access the website when you need to settle a bar bet with an associate professor from the local college!


The book includes one of the more common errors I hear in my neighborhood:


NAUSEATED / NAUSEOUS


"Many people say, when sick to their stomachs, that they feel &ldquo;nauseous&rdquo; (pronounced &ldquo;NOSH-uss&rdquo; or &ldquo;NOZH-uss&rdquo;) but traditionalists insist that this word should be used to describe something that makes you want to throw up: something nauseating.


"They hear you as saying that you make people want to vomit, and it tempers their sympathy for your plight.   Better to say you are &ldquo;nauseated,&rdquo; or simply that you feel like throwing up."  <BR CLEAR=all>]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
